The open loft, approximately 20'x 16', overlooks the great room and was originally designed as a second bedroom.

Space originally planned for an additional bathroom was left open, providing even more flexibility for a future owner.

Water comes from a 600-foot drilled well, estimated to produce approximately 3 gallons per minute, with an estimated 600 gallons of reserve water in the well pipe. A four-stage filtration system located after the pressure tank provides filtered water throughout the home. Hot water is supplied by a tankless electric water heater, with the option to convert to propane in the future. The electrical system was designed with preparedness and flexibility in mind. A 10-circuit transfer switch allows critical circuits-including the refrigerator, freezer, heating system, and microwave-to be powered from an alternate source. A double-throw switch allows the homeowner to select between grid power, battery power, or an external generator.
